\u201cIf there is a virgin maiden engaged to a man, and a man finds her in town and lies with her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can interpret that the holy Shechina<\/em> [Divinity] is called \u201cmaiden.\u201d There are three states: available, engaged, and married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the state of \u201cstill of Kedusha<\/em> [holiness],\u201d she is called \u201cavailable,\u201d since everything he does for her is only in order to receive reward\u2014either this world or the next world. However, he knows that the holy Shechina<\/em> is enslaved to him, meaning to self-reception. Hence, she is called \u201cavailable,\u201d since she has no one to need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that time, he wants her to need him. Therefore, then, in the state of \u201cstill,\u201d he can continue his work without blemishing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when he begins the work of the \u201cvegetative,\u201d when he already knows that one must engage in Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] in order to bestow, the holy Shechina<\/em> is considered \u201cengaged to a man,\u201d meaning to the Creator, and one should work to make the unification of the Creator and the Shechina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, one who lies with her, meaning who wants to take pleasure in her, who begins to work in reception while knowing that reception is already forbidden, since to him, she is already regarded as \u201cengaged to the Creator,\u201d then \u201cyou shall stone them both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The holy Shechina<\/em> herself is regarded as \u201cthere is no thought or perception of Him at all.\u201d Rather, it is all with respect to the attaining individual. For this reason, man is sentenced to stoning, meaning that foreign thoughts shatter his brain and he dies. That is, he loses all the vitality of Kedusha<\/em>, and the Shechina<\/em>, too, falls within him to a state of \u201cdust.\u201d In other words, he sees that there is no life in her, meaning no one for whom to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of the verse, \u201cthe maiden, because she did not cry out in the city\u201d (this is the meaning of \u201cWicked! Do not touch me!\u201d). \u201cIn the city\u201d means when he had a great awakening and worked with a huge flame. At that time, \u201cthe maiden did not cry out,\u201d meaning that no sin was sensed in this work. Rather, he wanted to continue this work in self-reception forever. This is why he blemished her, herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, now he sees that there is no vitality in her and it is not worth working for her. Our sages said, \u201cThe serpent came over Eve and cast filth within her.\u201d Baal HaSulam explained that Zuhama<\/em> [filth] comes from Zu-Ma<\/em> [what is this?], meaning he said, \u201cWhat is this work for you?\u201d This is called \u201cand they both died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd if the man finds her in the field\u2026\u201d Work in the field means that during the work he lied with her. That is, he engaged in Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> in order to receive and knew it was forbidden since she was engaged to a man. In that case, \u201cAnd to the maiden you shall do nothing\u2026 since he found her in the field, the maiden cried out\u2026 and there was no one to save her.\u201d That is, he feels that she is crying out, \u201cWicked! Do not touch me!\u201d meaning that it is forbidden to work in a manner of reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd there was no one to save her,\u201d meaning that a person cannot overcome his manner of reception, which is called \u201ca field.\u201d That is, during the work, when he wants to overcome reception, the holy Shechina<\/em> remains alive, meaning he sees her greatness and importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone who clings to this work to bestow, she has life but he dies because he received for himself the vitality that he extended from her, so he dies and claims that he cannot continue the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only one who was born with a keen mind and virtues, and upright qualities, but one who is born with ignoble qualities cannot continue this work. This is considered that he died, that he no longer has fuel to continue his work and have life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the Creator, with His great mercies, revives the dead with great mercy and a person is resurrected until he undergoes several reincarnations, whether in one body or in several bodies, as in \u201cNo outcast shall be cast out from Him,\u201d and he is rewarded with adhering to the level for eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cIf there is a virgin maiden engaged to a man, and a man finds her in town and lies with […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-11143","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
